An inspiring poem Larry. I feel flushed with pride just reading it! I loved your lines used here,
' Old Glory is smartly marched down the aisle' and others. Makes me easily visualise the soldiers marching inside the Church. Lots of imagery there. A good write.

Thanks, Peter. Interestingly the flag that inspired it was carried by High School ROTC students inside a livestock auction show. The lowing of steers, snorting of hogs and bahing of lambs & goats seemed to make the moment eternal.
